Madison — Gov. Scott Walker on Tuesday embraced a move to ban abortion after 20 weeks after repeatedly declining to spell out where he stood on the issue in last year's re-election campaign.

It is the latest example of Walker downplaying a major issue until after being re-elected and climbing to the top tier of likely 2016 presidential candidates. Walker did not campaign on plans to spin off the University of Wisconsin System as a public authority and now says he will sign so-called right-to-work legislation even though he insisted for years he would keep the measure from reaching his desk.

Wisconsin Right to Life has touted as its top priority legislation that has yet to be introduced that would prevent women from seeking abortions in most cases after 20 weeks.(151)

If Park Bank is liable for not spotting Sujata "Sue" Sachdeva's $34 million embezzlement from Koss Corp. and has to reimburse the company, Koss Chief Executive Michael Koss should also be ordered to personally pay the public company he runs, the bank argues in a new lawsuit.

Grant Thornton, Koss Corp.'s former auditor, should also have to pay a portion of any award that may be ordered, Park Bank argued in the latest twist in a long-running court fight stemming from Sachdeva's massive embezzlement.

"Park Bank denies any and all liability to Koss in this case," the bank said in its action. "Nevertheless, should Park Bank be found liable to Koss (Corp.) and required to pay damages to Koss, in this case, those damages will have been the result of a common liability of Park Bank, Michael Koss and Grant Thornton, thereby entitling Park Bank to (a) contribution from Michael Koss and Grant Thornton."(10)

Notes: Rodgers admits team had wrong confidence in '09

Green Bay - Packers QB Aaron Rodgers and the first-team offense has been smoking so far in the exhibition season, similar to how they performed last year.

But we know what happened. The Packers stumbled out of the gates offensively, the team got off to a 4-4 start and were nearly out of the playoff race before the offense finally regained its rhythm in the second half of the season.

Rodgers said last year taught the Packers something.

"Humility? Yeah. Definitely. I think so," Rodgers said. "I think the biggest thing that I've spoke on, here as well, is confidence. I think last year we didn't have the same kind of confidence. This year it's a real confidence, it's a mature, realistic confidence. And last year, everybody was saying we're a good team and we were kind of like, 'Yeah, you know, we can just show up and nobody can stop us, just like the preseason.' Well, that wasn't the case. But this year, I think it's just a more realistic confidence that, 'Hey, we know we're a good team, we still have to execute.'"

(Things to worry about) 5. Overall team mindset: For whatever reason, the 2009 Packers got full of themselves, and their performances suffered. Just ask Woodson about the mindset going into the Cardinals playoff game. This team plays better with an edge and its backs against the wall. The Packers have to find a way to handle all the Super Bowl hype better. On the flip side, the Packers, starting with general manager Ted Thompson, look like they’re getting a bit tight [due to the Super Bowl hype]. That stance has a tendency to filter down to the players, and negatively affect the on-field product. The Packers need to find a way to strike the right balance.

For what it's worth, in my opinion, Rodgers' words are a very good sign. And it's been more than that. While, yes, some of the players are running with the "Super Bowl or Die" mantra, the real confidence that Rodgers talked about as opposed to arrogance has been noticeable in training camp. They are confident, but they're back it up more. From the outside looking in, its seems that the players are striking that nice balance.

Other notes:

Rodgers said he and the Monday Night Football crew in town to call Thursday's game against the Indianapolis Colts had a good chuckle about how Rodgers stuck it to analyst Ron Jaworski in the off-season. "We just did a little production meeting and Mike Tirico brought it up right away, some comments I had made about certain members who might not have been the most prepared," Rodgers said. "And then he made a comment about Jaws so we had a good laugh about it....I think they do a good job on Monday Night Football. I never said anything about how they do on Monday Night Football. I think they do a great job. I think Jon does great, Ron does great and I think Mike is maybe the best play-by-play in the business....All I said was (Jaworski's pre-draft segment on Rodgers) was not a good one. And if you go back and look at it, I think you'll have a good laugh."

No recently injured players have been ruled out for Thursday.

LB Brady Poppinga left practice after taking a cleat to the shin.

WR Greg Jennings was out with back spasms.

DE Cullen Jenkins (strained left calf) is a long shot for the game.

OL Bryan Bulaga (hip flexor) was able to do some things in practice, but not everything.

Coach Mike McCarthy: "Al Harris is still fighting through rehab and he is getting better and better. All of the reports are always positive when we talk to medical staff, but there is a protocol when you come off a major type injury that Al has gone through. He is doing everything he can, I can promise you that, but still today he is not ready to pass the physical."

On RB James Starks: "He was improving at the beginning of the week. Yesterday was not one of his better days in the rehab, so we’re still up and down there. He will not play this week. I’m not counting on him this week."

OT Allen Barbre has a lower back injury.

Starters will be at least a half against the Colts and then they'll reassess at halftime.

"Andrew Quarless is a young guy that’s doing a much better job of being a professional. You can definitely see the talent, the awareness, the anticipation, and I think he has a bright future."

On if Quinn Johnson responded vs. Browns: "I agree with that. I think Quinn has actually played well (vs.) Cleveland and even in the second game in Seattle. Particularly some of the things we’ve asked him to do. He needed to pick it up on special teams. I think he’s responded there. He needs to continue to clean up the little things, and I expect more out of Quinn because he’s in his second year now. Anytime you’re in our program and you go from Year 1 to Year 2, I’m looking for a jump. He’s improving, but he needs to take that next jump."
